Attachment 2 - Wage Determination.pdf

This is a Department of Labor Wage Determination document (No. 2015-4975, Revision 26) establishing minimum wage rates for service contracts in Iowa County of Story, Iowa, effective as of July 8, 2025.

The document specifies that contracts subject to the Service Contract Act must pay workers at least $17.75 per hour under Executive Order 14026 (for contracts entered into or renewed after January 30, 2022) or $13.30 per hour under Executive Order 13658 (for contracts awarded between January 1, 2015 and January 29, 2022). The wage determination lists over 200 occupational classifications with corresponding hourly rates ranging from $12.20 for food service workers like waiters/waitresses to $56.57 for nuclear medicine technologists. Many positions are marked with asterisks indicating they may be entitled to higher minimum wages under the executive orders. The document includes comprehensive fringe benefits requirements including health and welfare benefits ($5.55 per hour), paid vacation (2-4 weeks based on service length), eleven paid holidays, and paid sick leave under Executive Order 13706. Additional provisions cover hazardous pay differentials (4-8% for ordnance and explosive work), uniform allowances, night and Sunday pay differentials for air traffic controllers and weather observers, and computer employee exemptions. The wage determination also outlines the conformance process for classifying unlisted job categories through Standard Form 1444.
